I'm out.

The Kishida Cabinet started in earnest on the 5th, and Prime Minister Kishida held a telephone conversation with President Biden of the United States for the first time after taking office, and the three newly appointed ministers including the three ministers in charge of measures against the new corona will also take over.

I believe that I have fulfilled my responsibilities, including my responsibilities. "
